"The 2015 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is the deepest and most powerful of Turley's three Howell Mountain Zinfandels. Today, the huge tannins and imposing dark fruit are still integrating. Attractive mineral/savory notes add to the wine's distinctive character. I expect the 2015 will need at least a few years to be at its best." –Dec-16

Rattlesnake Ridge is an estate-owned and certified organic vineyard. Located at the top of Howell Mountain at about 2600 feet, the vines see more sun here then they would on the valley floor; however, it is much colder due to the elevation, and can even snow in the winter. All combined, these factors make for a truly unique wine: bold, strong tannins and an acid backbone that can only come from Howell Mountain.
